I let the Marvel Mystery oil and ATF sit in the cylinders and finally turned it over today. Seems to have compression - it blew that stuff all to heck and back when I turned it over with the starter. Earlier I had adjusted the valves (they were bad out of adjustment) and checked the timing chain stretch which looked good - remember only 119k miles showing on the odo. What I have found so far to keep it from starting are:
a) the glow plug light does not come on and unfortunately the new glow plugs I picked up were not the correct ones although the ones in the car read at least 2.2 ohms accross them. I do not think I am getting power to them to begin with. I will get into this a little deeper tomorrow and try to resolve why I do not seem to be getting the glo light on the dashboard.
b) the other thing that concerns me is that I may have a little sheen of oil on the coolant in the radiator and I have to add a little water/coolant after I crank it over. Worst case - I hope - is that it needs a new head gasket and may need some machine work on the head. The next week or so should shed some light on this.
I will keep ya'll posted.
Any tips/hints on testing/checking the glow plug system will be appreciated.
